We are pleased to share the exciting news that Jeffrey Knorr, MHA, Executive Administrator in our department and Vice President of the UPMC Perioperative Service Line, has been promoted to the position of Chief Operating Officer for Academic Practices at UPMC.
In this new role, Jeff will provide executive leadership over several Physician Services departments, including the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, at a broader strategic level. While he will vacate our department’s Executive Administrator role, his elevation positions him to be an even stronger advocate and partner for our mission, faculty, and staff. Jeff will remain involved in departmental operations during a transition period, as University of Pittsburgh Physicians identifies a successor.
We thank Jeff for nearly three years of exemplary leadership of our department and the Perioperative Surgical Service Line and look forward to his continued leadership and success across the System.
Congratulations to Jeff on this well-deserved promotion!
